I read this article today; too bad it came out AFTER the track day, it would have been useful to us:

Thanks! There will be a day where it will rain at the track again, that's for sure. So, this is still useful to us!

most recent pic i have. i scrape my sides more than my front lip. exactly what i want not to happen. luckily i raised the rear height another inch this weekend so that helps scraping a little bit. I'm on hipermax III's which i recall you are as well



i installed the skirts at home but I'm sure it's as good as it gets. any higher and the fin on the sides will touch the car

Only things I can think of are your camber settings and height. It looks like you put the sides on just fine.

You're definitely lower. I have more wheel gap and I think I'd still have more even with 40 profile tires.



I'm at -2.5 degrees of camber at all 4 corners in this pic.

Take a little bit of that rear camber out. Its not an S2k, we have some power.

BTW , looks like a few of us are running May 5 at Autoclub if you want to come out and play.

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't people with Zs setup for road racing run -3.2 range front and -2.7 range rear and some front toe?

I could be wrong since I haven't extentaly looked into it.

I hear different things, too. But I see more camber in front than the rear more consistently than anything else.

Usually between -2 and -2.5 for NA cars in the rear depending on the tires , track and driving style.

Rubicant, great car. Sorry you got the track bug. There is no cure.

Anyway, could you tell me what size spacers you used front and back. Sorry if you already mentioned it.
